I'll spend most of my time around the coastal cities.

Replies Hoop Jargon Posted at 2:56 pm on Oct. 27, 2008 The only coastal cities that get hot in August would be Brisbane and Cairns. It's still quite cool in Melbourne and Sydney and all the moderate capitals. Autumnal Posted at 6:39 am on Oct. 27, 2008 I went in august around the coastal cities a while back, and it was reaaallly hot. So. yeah. It will probably still be hot, but slightly cooler? I don't know.   Hoop Jargon Posted at 4:59 am on Oct. 27, 2008 Ok.. hard to explain so here we go. Melbourne - COOL in the day, 15-16c max, <65F, even colder at night, not quite freezing but getting there, especially mid July.     Sydney - Can be warm, gets up 70F at the warmest part of the day, but usually around 65F, won't freeze in the city but it will out west.   Brisbane, Can get over 70F in the daytime but also freezes at night sometimes because of it's weird arse climate. Same goes for the Gold Coast.   Anywhere north of the Topic of Cancer will be fucking sweet. 85F during the day and no colder then 65F at night. Because it's dry season in the Tropics, not very humid at all. Watch out for all the little things. What you can't see, e.g hides in your shoes or in the bushes will kill you. Mostly spiders. Man-eating snakes mostly hibernate through winter, however that's different in the tropics, so make sure you're never without your rifle and frequency disturber.  DONT DO NEEDLE DRUGS IN SYDNEY.   Lala ninja Posted at 11:08 am on Oct. 26, 2008 normal summer weather! myystic Posted at 11:04 am on Oct. 26, 2008 hatt, we define our seasons here rigidly by the months of the year. dec-feb = summer mar-may = autumn (or the tedious 'fall', as you'd call it) jun-aug = winter sep-nov = spring they aren't exact, sure, but it's tradition. august tends to be the coldest month (from a melbournian experience), despite being the 'lead-in' to spring. robdude Posted at 11:02 am on Oct. 26, 2008 cold weather musicfan3 Posted at 11:01 am on Oct. 26, 2008 Quote: from h a t t at 10:58 am on Oct. 26, 2008 Quote: from myystic at 1:55 pm on Oct. 26, 2008 depths of winter.    presumably you'll be going to melbourne and sydney, and likely over to perth and perhaps up north to darwin or broome, likely brisbane too.    expect to freeze to death in melbourne, unless you can do your part to influence global warming post haste. in sydney, you'll likely get robbed or addicted to ice, if you haven't already done so in melbourne. you'll leave perth with a feeling of 'well, the swan river is nice, but i wasnt sure doing something new could actually bore me more'. anywhere up north will just be humid as shit, and you'll feel guilty whenever you see an aborigine. brisbane is basically for funparks, but if you're coming to australia just for those the ones in the US will sorely beat ours.    enjoy your stay. shouldn't you guys be going into spring if we're going into fall?

Oh that reminds me - there is no indoor heating in homes. Expect to shiver and drink hot chocolate and huddle infront of a heater at night. Unless you get air conditioning, which isn't common. tell me again Posted at 10:55 am on Oct. 26, 2008 It'll be winter, but not that cold. A sweater + coat is the most you will EVER wear, out on a "cold" windy night. Normally, daytime would still be sunny: shirt, sweater, light hoodie. Or shirt + thick hoodie. Never need fleece or thick scarves or ugg boots other than for fashion purposes. Never snows (if weather report says snow, it means tiny flecks of snow in the early morning on the mountains, that no one ever sees) myystic Posted at 10:55 am on Oct. 26, 2008 depths of winter. presumably you'll be going to melbourne and sydney, and likely over to perth and perhaps up north to darwin or broome, likely brisbane too. expect to freeze to death in melbourne, unless you can do your part to influence global warming post haste. in sydney, you'll likely get robbed or addicted to ice, if you haven't already done so in melbourne. you'll leave perth with a feeling of 'well, the swan river is nice, but i wasnt sure doing something new could actually bore me more'. anywhere up north will just be humid as shit, and you'll feel guilty whenever you see an aborigine. brisbane is basically for funparks, but if you're coming to australia just for those the ones in the US will sorely beat ours. enjoy your stay. sexybrown0304 Posted at 10:54 am on Oct. 26, 2008 I wanna go and keep you company.....it should be sunny. musicfan3 Posted at 10:53 am on Oct. 26, 2008 Quote: from CAITYCHAOS at 10:52 am on Oct. 26, 2008 I get to go the UK, i wonder what the weather will be like down there??

Cause the different hemispheres I think. I didn't pay attention about this in class lol I could be wrong. It's just inverted seasons, not weather. Most recent 15 of 19 previous replies displayed.
